Was offered Rs 25 crore by BJP for RS polls: MP Cong MLA

BHOPAL: Congress MLA Baijnath Kushwaha on Tuesday claimed that BJP leaders were offering him Rs 25 crore to lure him ahead of the Rajya Sabha polls in Madhya Pradesh.

Kushwaha’s allegation has come a day after veteran Congress leader and Upper House member Digvijaya Singh accused BJP leaders of offering Rs 25 to 35 crore to Congress MLAs, even as the saffron party rubbished the claims.

Singh had alleged that the BJP had offered Rs 5 crore in advance and the remaining amount in part to destabilise the Kamal Nath-led Government in the State.

Speaking to reporters here after meeting minister Govind Singh, Kushwaha said, “People have been offering me money and I asked them who was giving the money and place where the amount will be delivered,” he said.

The Congress MLA identified one of the men as Pramod Sharma from Bhind and claimed that he had also noted the name of another man and will reveal it later. (AGENCIES)
